Beyond Staffing: MedPro Healthcare’s Employees Light the Way in Cancer Research

Sunrise, Florida – November 8, 2025 – In an industry often focused on filling critical staffing needs, MedPro Healthcare Staffing is illuminating a different path – one dedicated to supporting groundbreaking cancer research. The Florida-based company was recently named ‘Top Corporate Team of the Year’ by Blood Cancer United for its exceptional fundraising efforts during the 2025 ‘Light The Night’ South Florida walk, raising $37,255 to combat blood cancers.

While the financial contribution is significant, the story behind it reveals a deeper trend: a growing commitment from healthcare companies to actively support the research that underpins their very existence, and the increasingly powerful role employee engagement plays in driving those initiatives.

“It’s about more than just writing a check,” says a company spokesperson. “Our team truly rallied around this cause, demonstrating a level of passion and dedication that’s incredibly inspiring.”

From Staffing Solutions to Supporting Science

Founded in 1983, MedPro Healthcare Staffing provides temporary and contract healthcare professionals to hospitals, government facilities, and medical laboratories across the US. The company has steadily grown, currently employing over 300 corporate professionals. While their core business focuses on workforce solutions, MedPro's recent recognition signals a broadening focus on corporate social responsibility.

This year marked MedPro’s first participation in the Light The Night event, and they made an immediate impact. The company’s team went above and beyond typical fundraising efforts, organizing internal initiatives like a farmers’ market featuring employee-baked goods and handmade crafts, a wine tasting event, and a raffle with prizes ranging from a Disney cruise to a trip to Paris.

“We wanted to make it fun and engaging for everyone,” explained a MedPro employee involved in the fundraising. “It wasn't just about asking for donations; it was about creating a sense of community and shared purpose.”

A Growing Trend: Healthcare Stepping Up

MedPro’s commitment isn’t an isolated incident. Across the healthcare sector, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of supporting cancer research. This trend is driven by several factors, including the personal connection many healthcare professionals have to the disease, the desire to improve patient outcomes, and the growing awareness of the critical need for funding.

“Healthcare organizations are uniquely positioned to understand the impact of cancer,” says an industry analyst. “They see the challenges patients and families face every day, and they want to be part of the solution.”

However, simply allocating funds isn't enough. Successful fundraising initiatives require genuine employee buy-in and engagement. This is where MedPro's approach stands out. By empowering employees to take ownership of the fundraising efforts, the company fostered a sense of pride and purpose.

“When employees feel connected to a cause, they’re more motivated to contribute,” explains a company spokesperson. “It’s not just about raising money; it’s about building a culture of giving.”

Addressing Healthcare’s Unique Challenges

The healthcare industry faces unprecedented challenges, including a critical staffing shortage and increasing demands for services. Supporting cancer research may seem counterintuitive in this environment, but industry experts argue it’s more important than ever.

“Investing in research is an investment in the future of healthcare,” explains an industry analyst. “It’s about finding new treatments, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the burden of disease.”

Furthermore, by actively supporting cancer research, healthcare companies can attract and retain talented employees who are passionate about making a difference. In today’s competitive job market, a strong commitment to social responsibility can be a significant differentiator.

The Power of Employee Engagement

MedPro’s success highlights the critical role employee engagement plays in driving successful fundraising initiatives. By empowering employees to take ownership of the fundraising efforts, the company fostered a sense of pride and purpose.

“It was amazing to see everyone come together and support this cause,” said a MedPro employee involved in the fundraising. “It wasn’t just about raising money; it was about building a sense of community.”

Blood Cancer United echoed this sentiment, praising MedPro’s dedication and fundraising efforts. “MedPro’s team truly went above and beyond,” said a spokesperson for the organization. “Their commitment is inspiring, and their support will make a real difference in the fight against blood cancers.”

Looking Ahead

MedPro Healthcare Staffing’s recognition as ‘Top Corporate Team of the Year’ is a testament to the power of employee engagement and the growing commitment of healthcare companies to supporting cancer research. As the industry continues to face unprecedented challenges, initiatives like these will be more important than ever. By investing in research and empowering employees, healthcare companies can not only improve patient outcomes but also build a stronger, more resilient future for the industry.

MedPro plans to make participation in Light The Night an annual event, with the goal of increasing their fundraising efforts and expanding their impact in the fight against blood cancers. “We’re committed to making a difference,” says a company spokesperson. “And we’re confident that we can continue to build on this success in the years to come.”
